Kick Food Waste off Campus!

As the student-led zero waste movement gains momentum across the nation, the Post-Landfill Action Network is working hard to ensure that students have access to the tools and information they need to make lasting change on their campuses. To do this, we work with industry innovators, campus leaders and other non-profit activists in building best-practice resources. With supplementary resources from Food Recovery Network, PLAN has compiled over 60 pages of best-practices guidance for reducing food waste on your campus. We move down the food waste hierarchy to tackle food waste from every angle, including:

Guidance for navigating a compost system that best suits your campus community

For all of these approaches to reducing food waste, we incorporate general project advice for volunteer recruitment, smooth leadership turnover, working with administration, and facilitating collaboration across campus.

To access this resource, look in your campus’s PLAN member folder, or connect with our Campus Coordinators to find out how to make your campus a part of the network!
